Aborted Arc 2
(Historical Notes: I can’t remember if I’ve ever said this anywhere else, but the character of Tabitha Caligari wasn’t originally conceived for Far Out There at all. I had this vague notion of a dark comedy about a crazy wizard guy and his teenage daughter who refused to carry on the family business of magic because she preferred mad science instead. The whole “Tabitha’s Kids” debacle makes a lot more sense when you look at it as a holdover from that early concept. Because yeah, this would have been an EXTREMELY un-Far Out There project, much more of a Johnny the Homicidal Maniac kind of vibe, which I rather doubt I would have been able to pull off even if there’s WASN’T the whole tonal clash thing to worry about. Again, there’s a level of commitment involved in going FULL dark that I just don’t think I’ve got in me. I don’t really wanna be locked into ANY one tone exclusively, but that one especially would get really exhausting really fast.)
And those 10 other horrible, horrible children eventually got reused also…all combined in to one lump of pure nastiness…and renamed as Megaweapon 😮
Also, I’ve wondered, since they were originally lab creations of (mad) science, were they originally Experiment “A” and Experiment “B”, as is traditional for experimental subjects, or is it just a coincidence that their names begin with A and B?
you can not convince me Bridget isn’t the older twin
By personality, that certainly seems to be the case.

seems to imply that they were activated simultaneously.
So, A and B were probably labeling from left to right on the activation platforms.
